beachbobbinquilting Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I am a relatively new quilter, but wanted to share a project that is on display. Please view http://www.hopefoundation.org/hope/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=216&Itemid=8&limit=1&limitstart=1 I was approached by Zenobia Washington, who pieced this quilt. This was her first quilt. I didn't know anything about her or this organization prior to her approaching me about doing the quilt. After I did the quilt, she told me the quilt would be on a traveling display, and would wind up on Broadway in January. Imagine my surprise. Hope you will be able to see the quilting. I did a puzzle meander. Cathy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Cathy, Welcome to the forum. Great job. Aren't you glad she didn't tell you before you quilted it. That kind of thing makes me a nervous wreck! You did a great job quilting this quilt. Keep posting pictures...we are a visual group here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthieq Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Cathy - I love the puzzle meander! Is it freehand or a pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbobbinquilting Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 It is a pattern. The quilt is very large, 9 x 9 ft. I chose the pattern because I felt it fit the art pieces that fit together in our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbobbinquilting Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thank you all for the encouring words. I guess I should rephrase...I've been quilting a while. I made my first quilt with my Grandmother at age 8. I'm sure she did most of the quilting, but I remember spending hours at the loom. I was fortunate to be able to get an APQS Millennium in May and have doing quilts for others since. I do have the Compu-Quilter as well. It's been challenging. While Tina Collins did a very good job at showing me how to operate it, it is still rather self-taught. I see a pattern and practice, practice, practice until I get it presentable. But I'm having a blast. BTW, there will be more quilts to follow. They plan at least 5 more. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
